[34/365] Wading through the back room proved a rather uneventful experience apart from discovering a reasonably old Mancala set. Although most of it was in good condition, I chose to salvage just the colourful glass pebbles.

off the stems of autumn

[33/365] From a tree in my garden which looked beautiful with its warm, autumn overcoat of reds and oranges. My inclusion of the key chain, rather than leave the sight as it was, aimed to provoke thoughts of a small happiness or focus. A bit of an experimental approach...but enjoy!

Photography Tips


Applying an element of storytelling to the shot, with the title, adds a new facet to any photograph. In my opinion it really improves the piece, especially if you've adapted the most fitting story and title to the capture.
